It is probably some sort of initialization problem, like the first
group used in matching for a process-sentinel or a new session not
being allowed to be shy, or like there must not be more shy groups
used at any given time than non-shy groups have been used previously
in the session or something.

Hopefully, we can get some more details so that we know what
workaround would appear safe.
